SOME STRANGE CONFESSIONS.
Several Good Stories Which Convey Very
Needful Morals.

The Rochester IN. " Union reports

physician:
"Can you cure cold for meY'

DO You treat yourself for colds?"
THAT depends on how bad they are. l

dose, but didn't dare take it. I kept it
over night and gave it to a sdeadhead'

"Then you don't dare take your own
medicine?''
No! I don't dare. and 1 have no fam

| A gentleman, a short time ago, con-
suited his ply sic1an about severe rheu-
matte attack. As he was leaving the doc
tor said:
'Should my prescription afford any re-
lief, let me know it, DIS / am suffering
from an affection similar to yours, and
fur the last twenty years have tried in
vain to cure it.'
The best OF physicians now have the
| frankness to admit that the schools have
not yet mastered ell there is to know
about the causes of disease, and the best
methods OF cure. There has been great
advance, no doubt, in medical science in
me last fifty years. Doctors themselves,
do not take their own physjc, even

their patients with poisonous drugs, nor
d. they bleed, blister and torture, as for

Byron died, it is claimed, because Of
overwhelming by his physicians. Wash
ington met the same fate!
Scientific investigation shows that
most ailments proceed from the derange-
ment OF primary organs, of which the
kidneys are the most important. Every
drop of blood coursing through the sys-
tenn passes through these organs, and if
they are deranged, the blood speedily be-
| comes impure, and carries the seeds of
disease to every part of the body. If We
keep these organs regulated by the use

analyst, Of the Rochester University,
says: 81 find entirely free from mercury

stances"-there is little danger of bright's
disease, apoplexy, rheumatism, or any of
the common ailments, nearly all of which
originate in or are made fatal by diseasl

great remedy has the reputation, which
seems well founded, of curing more dis

New York, from Bright's disease, and
General christensen, of Drexel, Morgan
& Co., Bankers, of New York, who knew
of the case, pronounced it wonderful

As appropriate to the doctors who give
to their patients what they will not take
themselves, we quote this story:

ed young lady at church fair. give

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
HARPER's Bazaar.

The pumpkin pie is yellow,
The buckwhsat cake is brown,
The farmers gray peck-whiskers
Are full of thlstle-dow
The leaves are crisp and russell,
The sumac's blazing red.
The butternut descending
Is cracked upon your head.
The rabbit Is cavorting
Along the gloomy slope,
The shotgun of the sportsman
Eliminates his lope.
The butterfly's departed,
Likewise the belted bee,
The small boy in the orchard
Is up the apple tree.
The county fair is blooming,
The circus is nc more,
And on the polished brass dogs
We make the hickory rear
The trees wear lovely colors
In beautiful excess;
All nature seems to rustic
Just like a new silk dress
The sausage soon will ripen,
The popcorn soon will pop,
And Christmas things enliyeR
The window of the shop.
Sing hi. for merry autumn,
Sing no! for autumn gay,
Whose pretty pot-pie squirrels
Among the branches play.
For now no merry bluebird
Upon the rose tree toots,
And autumn, golden autumn,
Serenely up and scoots.

WIRES ANO POLES.

A man walking along Summit and other
Toledo streets would naturally wonder
how in the world the hundreds of tele-
graph wires were ever distinguished from
one another and how in the world they
were kept in order, observes the Toledo
Btd6e. A person not posted on tho mys
teries of telegraphy will wonder how
man can sit at O little ticking instrument
and apparently over the same wire talk tc
Now York or San Francisco at pleasure.
1t is by no means a child's play to thread
the wires In large city, and experienced
mon are required to "kecp the lines clear"
in the parlance of telegraphy. He learns
by experience, and does not acquire his
trade as some colleges would teach Jour
nalism, out of book. He begins as a
ground-man, at a modest salary, making
small and unimportant repairs at first,
until he gradually works up. He learns to
ciamor up the poles with spikes on his
feet, and must needs learn to keep a clear
head at a great height.
The compensation of lineman Is from
$40 10 $50 per month, the former salary be-
ing paid in rural districts aud the latter In
cities whore the work requires the most
skillful linemen.
The question will naturally arise In tho
mind of the curious, Glow in the world
does lincman know which one of the
labyrinth of wires i; the one to be re-
pairedI" In telegraph offices there arc
large folios containing descriptions Of
every wire, with diagrams of the poles as

Their Enduring Powers In Wartime Dis
cussed 10y Old Soldiers.
In group of old soldiers at an uptown
hotel the other night. says the New York
Tribune, the talk drifted into q discussion
of the enduring powers of men, when the
highest tribute was paid by all of them to
the "staying" qualities Of the clerks and
"town boys" who became enlisted soldiers
during the war OF the rebellion. An old.
officer said: "The men who came from the
farms, who had been accustomed to
three regular meals every day from
q table stacked high with food and
to ten solid hours Of sleep after a
hard days work in the field, broke down.
quickly under the comparative idleness Of
army existence and the irregularity with
which they secured their meals. 1t was
too great change in their habits and
mode of living. The boys from the cities,
and towns, who had been accustomed to-
roaming around without any particular or
fixed hour for eating, who were accus-'
toned to being out at all times Of night,
and the pale-faced clerks who had been
standing behind counters from daybreak
to dusk, were the ones who could endure
the greatest privations with the least dis
comfort. They could march all day ON.

Take the wire as an example. Starting
from the central office, IL runs along upon
the main line for some distance upon poles
similar to diagram No. /. When IL branches
from the main line it takes its course upon
poles similar to diagram No. 2, but changes
its position upon the poles as may be seem
Again branching off, It runs upon poles
similar to diagram No. 3, again changing
its position until IL reaches its destination.
Every lineman has a small book contain
ing diagrams of the poles and wires in his
district, copied from the folios in the West
ern Union office. When a break occurs or
wire needs repairing, he has only to fol-
low 1t, book in hand, until he reaches the
pole nearest to the place where repairing
Is necessary. Another question is, how
are the damaged portions of wire located
to certain districts! Simply by telegraph
ing from station to station. II break oc-
ours in the line running from here to Chi
cago, the nearest station is sig
nailed, and If all is right, answers
the signal, repeating the operation
until section Is reached where
no answer is received. This locates the
break. When a storm sweeps over a GER
tain portion of the country it is often nec-'
essary TO bring ell tho linemen for hun
dreds of miles around to the scene Of de-
struction. Often they are brought from
distant States in order that the necessary
repairs may be made with all possible ex-
pedition. During the winter months a line
mans life is one of great hardship. He is'
often required to climb poles covered with
ice, and TO handle wires that stick to his
hands. When the wires are reported down
in the Northwestern States, large gangs
are dispatched TO make repairs, for no man
could work for more than half an hour on
top of telegraph pole with a blizzard
blowing about his ears. Gangs of work
men accompany them TO dig out the fallen
poles, which are often covered with snow.
1t is no unusual occurrence to hear that
simple statement, "The wires are down."
but the wonder is that they are put in or
der again in such an incredibly short
